Still Beta Zalev Never before have I enjoyed killing wolves so much. The rage I felt gave these rascals no chance of survival. When I freed them, they thought they had regained their freedom. The look of surprise on their faces was worth its weight in gold when I told them what the actual case was. They all knew they were dead when they saw my face. The destructive energy emanating from me was palpable to everyone standing around us. The men all tried to attack me at first, their only hope of hurting me. How wrong they were! Cries of pain and the thudding sound of bodies hitting the ground echoed around us. A few soon gave up and began to beg for their lives. But I was too far away, vengeance was coursing through my blood. Xander clawed to take over, but then it would be over too soon. I wanted to see these assailants of my mate suffer before they closed their eyes forever. They didn't feel sorry for her then so they needn't expect that no
Louise's POV The bright light seems to want to blind me. After blinking a few times I get used to it and can keep my eyes open longer. And now I realize that the light is coming from an old lamp hanging from the ceiling. But otherwise, it was dark all around me. I try to raise a hand to feel my face, it is heavy, but I manage to lift it anyway. "You're awake." I am startled by the voice next to me. And when I see the person who has just spoken, I am shocked. A witch. Have I been lying here unconscious with a witch around, I ask myself in horror. She sees my reaction and smiles. "Don't worry, you are safe with me. I am not a black witch and will not harm you". Of course, I know that witches are anything but trustworthy, but if this one has kept me alive I do think I owe her the benefit of the doubt. I continue to stare at her as she looks back kindly. "What's your name? I'm Rachel,
Again Louise's POV Zalev is the perfect mate. Every day he comes to the cave and has lunch with me. We talk about all kinds of things, except the future. He told me he is originally from Blue Moon, a pack near Georgia. The Alpha of the rogues, whose name I now know is Alvarez, was the Alpha's second son. His brother, the first son, was such a weak leader. To save the pack from ruin, Alvarez wanted to succeed his father, but the latter refused. Alpha Alvarez then challenged his father but lost the fight. Normally the Winner should kill his opponent, but the man could not find it in his heart to kill his own blood. So he banished Alvarez, who chose to go rogue. Being Alvarez's best friend, he decided to go along and leave his parents safely behind in Blue Blood. Despite this sad story, Zalev is relaxed. He has a great sense of humor, often teasing me and putting a smile on my face. Then I can relax and t
Loriann's POV And here I sit, high on a rock above a ravine overlooking the access road from Human Town to Eclipse Howl. But at the same time, I can also keep an eye on the path through the jungle near the pack border. Xanna, the white witch arrives by my reckoning today. She has been invited by Alpha Thoseo to inquire about his son's allegedly failing romance. “Come, Alpha. Tell your son to keep his promises,” I whisper acidly into the wind. I scan the area for the umpteenth time and still see no sign of Xanna. If the situation were not so serious, and if it were not just a matter of consolidating my position, I would laugh at this whole affair. What could be more ridiculous than the Alpha thinking that someone has cast a worthless spell on his son and Meg revealing Romero and his Beta's secret plan to me of all people? No, now is not the time for me to be amused by this whole episode. I have to stay alert until Romero t
Loriann’s POV still "Xanna". On hearing her name, she stands still and turns towards me. At first, she does not recognize me and stares at me in astonishment for a few seconds. But then recognition comes and a broad smile kept her lips. "If it isn't Loriann," she jokes. "What are you doing so far from the pack? I was expecting to see you in the library". But then she notices my face is tight and my eyes burn a bright fire. "Is something wrong?" she asks uncertainly now. I pull an arrow from my back pocket, cock the bow and point at her. Xanna flinches and takes a step to the side, out of the arrow's range. I aim and let go. And when Xanna turns to see the result, her eyes go wide. The arrow pierces a small woodland grape into the trunk of a tree. It was shot with exact precision, even the witch has to acknowledge that. Her mouth falls open and she stares at me feral. Our eyes lock for a few seconds, before her face drops.
Meg's POV Helping the Alpha's son out has really become fun. I couldn't have guessed that so many privileges would come from it. With Romero, I have now been able to forge a strong friendship, his temper and free spirit make him a great guy. We can discuss all kinds of issues for hours, he is broad-minded and his love for the pack pervades through every statement. I predict he will be a great leader when he takes over, but he will really need a decisive Luna by his side. And so far he doesn't really seem to be managing to charm the female sex. And so far he doesn't really seem to be able to charm the female pack. It seems that he will just have to wait for the Moon Goddess to be kind to him and let his mate appear in a few years. But still, it would be such a waste to let such a wonderful guy go through life lonely and single. I am now his constant companion, Lori and me. With his Beta included, we now are the power four of Eclipse Howl. This ne
Still Meg's POV The men burst into laughter. "Meg, I would almost think you have found your fated mate," yawns Romero. "But allow me to remind you that you are only eighteen and will have to wait three more years?" And again, they roar with laughter. Dazed, I look at them, the scent still lingering in my head. My mate? Indeed, I am not yet the right age to detect him. But then what was this heavenly scent that compels me to look for him? I can barely contain myself, Marty, my wolf is starting to get restless. "If it is a powerful Alpha who has been begging the Moon Goddess for his mate for years, it could well be that you are scenting him right now. It is his wolf calling desperately for his mate within the radiation of the Alpha's power. Eighteen is already mature, he may already be claiming you. But it is still up to your Alpha to decide if you can go with him". Stunned, the three of us stared in the same direction
Louise's POV Zalev takes my hand and leads me to another part of the cave. We stop at a door that clearly says 'Alpha' on a nameplate. He knocks and opens the door immediately. Once inside, I see a well-built man sitting behind a desk, his eyes dark and his eyebrows bushy and full. He must be close to thirty, judging by the deep scars on his face, mostly the result of hard life experiences. As he rises from his chair to face us, I notice that his body is bulky and covered in tattoos. Zalev is not exactly small, but this Alpha towers over us. His aura is formidable, my wolf immediately runs for cover and I slide closer to Zalev for protection. "Alpha Alvarez, this is my mate, Louise. She joined us after our men found her at the pack border," Zalev proudly introduces me. I look up at the Alpha, unsure whether to shake his hand. The man in front of me is clearly a no-nonsense figure. "Louise. I am so
